Romanian Eagle

The 24th Division of the Romanian Army arrived at the border town of Khmelnik on September 9, occupied the disputed Khmelek Hill on September 12, and built fortifications on it in an attempt to cause the fact of occupation. The officers and soldiers of our Border Guard Corps When I tried to prevent its illegal occupation, I was expelled by it. In order to maintain the peace of the region, my border guards had to withdraw with patience. According to our information, the Romanian army currently occupying the area is as many as one brigade.”

Inside the Kremlin. Maineski, the head of the General Directorate of National Political Defense, is speaking about the Romanian occupation of Mount Helmek. In addition to Stalin, there were also many Soviet military and political leaders.

After listening to Mainesky's report, Stalin took his world-famous pipe and spoke. Comrades, talk about it.

When his voice fell, many people turned their attention to Voroshilov. Because this is a military matter, it is best for the military chief to answer.

I think what Romania is doing at the moment is a test of the great Soviet Union, a reaction of the capitalist society to test our country when it suffers an economic crisis. Like the warlord Zhang in the East, it is against the great Soviet. So we can't have any Hesitation must be fought back with the strongest attitude.

Without waiting for the two military chiefs to speak, Molotov, who is currently the chairman of the People's Committee, stood up and took the lead in expressing his attitude.

In addition to making him do this because the Soviet Union could not give in, there was also his own speculation about Stalin's mind.

After Molotov spoke, Voroshilov, who served as the People's Commissar of the Navy and Army, also spoke. Yes, we have to fight back severely against the provocations of the Eastern warlords, and the provocations of the Western Romanians are no exception. Otherwise, the external environment of the Soviet Union will become even worse because of this tolerance.

Others also spoke up after seeing two consecutive Stalin cronies express their attitudes.

The Soviet Union can't do anything to back down, otherwise these countries that are hostile to the Soviet Union will swarm and target the Soviet Union one after another.

Yes, these Romanians must be given a taste of the Soviet iron fist.

Last time the Soviet Union's concession to Romania for peace made them feel that they could violate the interests of the Soviet Union. They were wrong to think so. This time, they must taste the power of the Soviet Union.

After everyone had spoken, Stalin spoke. The matter about the provocation by the Romanians will be handed over to the Kyiv Military Region. I believe they will give a satisfactory answer to the central government. In addition, the five-year plan cannot be affected by this matter, and we must make every effort to ensure that the plan is effectively implemented.

As Stalin made his final decision,

The Soviet Union also responded to the Romanian provocation.

As the direct executor, the Kyiv Military Region naturally does not dare to slack off.

Therefore, when the order came to the Kyiv Military Region, Commander Timoshenko naturally did not dare to neglect.

Brother Timoshen has been a prosperous official in recent years. As the original officer of the first cavalry army with a special status, Timoshen was of course well aware that he was promoted so quickly. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off on orders from Moscow.

And when the Border Guard Corps discovered Romania's move, how could the Kyiv Military Region, which controls Ukraine's military intelligence, not know it, but it has not yet received an order from the superior, so it cannot act rashly.

So after the Moscow order was issued, Timoshenko looked at the telegram and turned his head to instruct. Immediately in accordance with the predetermined plan, order the various departments to rush to Helmek Mountain before the 15th, and the combat command of the 15th Army's Comrade Solnov is in charge. At the same time, the other departments are ordered to start patrolling the border area to prevent the possibility of Romanians. provocation.

When Brother Timoshen said this, after thinking about it, he added another sentence. In the event of provocation by the Romanians, a severe counterattack can be given.

Following Timoshenko's order, the pre-prepared troops immediately put on their already-prepared luggage, and marched in a line singing revolutionary songs to the reserved location. And behind them is the figure of the god of war artillery, as if to declare the greatness of the Soviet Union.

And Major General Solnov, the commander of this battle, who was accepted by Timoshenko, was also ready to set off. However, as a major general, he has many colleagues, so he is making his final farewell.

Comrade Solnov, I wish you an early return from the victory.

These people who saw him off were basically comrades from the 15th Army, and the figure of the 15th Army Commander and Political Commissar was also among them.

Facing the comrades who saw him off, Solnov, who served as the deputy commander, could only speak.

Thank you for your concern for me. This time, I will definitely live up to the expectations of Comrade Commander and everyone. Everything is for the Soviets.

For the Soviets.

After speaking, Solnov turned on his horse and led the guards towards Helmek Mountain. He will join the 24th Division and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Artillery Brigade on the road to jointly complete the tasks assigned by the superiors.

The move of the Soviet troops was soon discovered by the Romanian side, which was closely watching its movements.

After learning of the news that the Soviet Union had dispatched troops, the chief of the general staff, Admiral Freiette, immediately ordered. Send a report to the troops on the border of West Ukraine, asking them to be more vigilant. For the Soviet troops that appear around Mount Helmek, they need to make a precautionary record, and ask them to show our attitude towards their possible provocative actions. In addition, send a report to Major General Salda, telling him that this battle is very important to Romania and him, and I hope he can play Romania's prestige.

After giving the order, Admiral Freiit paid attention to the military map hanging behind him. This map is marked with dense military markings. These marks are all the troops of the two countries, and the marks here are more dense around Helmek.

Hopefully this battle can achieve its purpose.

Admiral Freiette looked at the map and said to himself.

He also saw the growth of the Soviet military power over the years, and many technical arms were established during this period. Moreover, the Soviet Union is not only chasing the technical arms established by other countries, but also exploring new arms that have never appeared before, such as the paratroopers, which the Soviet Union first established.

Although the military strength of the Soviet Union has been continuously renovated over the years, Romania is not bad, or even stronger. Don't take me for granted after military cooperation with Germany and Italy, Romania's strength is also not what it used to be. And this time let the Soviet Union know Romania's strength once again.

When the Soviet army began to prepare for the attack, the Soviet Union was not idle in its diplomacy, and a tough statement was handed to Romania. The above requires Romania to withdraw troops that cross the border within 24 hours, otherwise it will take necessary measures.

This declaration was rejected by Romania without exception, and stated that Romania did not cross the border, that Mount Helmek belonged to Romania, and that the Soviet Union's request was vexatious.

Since neither of the two sides persuaded the other, it was necessary to convince people with physical reasoning, so Helmek became the place for the two sides to compete.
